Death of Thomas Adams
Mr. Thomas Adams, well known to our citizens, died a little after midnight Wednesday night. He had been complaining of ill health for about a year, but had only been confined to his bed for a short time. His disease was diabetes. His age was 47 years. Mr. Adams was a good citizen, and a quiet unassuming man. He enlisted with the Hundred Days men, and served faithfully. Was postmaster of Findlay from 1872 to 1876, and filled the position honorably and creditably. He was both a painter and a printer, and was engaged in this office when the first copy of the Jeffersonian was printed. When the Great Proof Reader revises Tommy's record, may it be formally free from errors and mistakes, and entitle him to the reward of a perfect register. Funeral tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock from the residence on East Sandusky Street.
